2-Star Hotels in Beijing

This place was nice and cosy. It was the perfect size for our family of 5 (2 adults + 3 children 8,4,2) huge bathroom upstairs and a washing machine downstairs in the other washroom. Was clean and tidy upon arrival :) We chose this place to be within the 5th ring for our private transfer to the Great Wall. It has a little convenient store just outside the building. It is also within walking distance to shops/restaurants and a plaza too. Communication with host was all done through WeChat and the instructions given were easy to follow. Even when I was unsure of something, I was able to contact the host easily and they were able to answer my questions and queries in a timely manner. Only con I had was the smell of smoke throughout the building but that did not effect our stay too much! Also couldn’t quite understand how to use the tv/projector, but didn’t bother us too much either as we were out most of the day, and was just wanting it in the evenings to unwind :)

We are 2 friends and both are new to Beijing and let alone China. We are first time here. For me the room is great enough, light was all working fine. The toothbrush and soap provided but need to get from reception. I was using iPhone so I cannot use the WiFi as it only works with Android due to firewall. Location wise I think it is easy to find even with Google Map. For those using Metro, Dongsi Station Exit G is the nearest one, while Exit D is the second nearest. Two main metro line to Dongsi Station is Metro Line 5 & 6. But we normally use line 6 because it is nearest to Exit G. The area is close to Forbidden Palace, you can get there with one change of metro service. When I went to Forbidden Palace, I did go there using Metro then walk back as it is only around 1.6km walking after the Exit at Forbidden Palace and took about 20 minutes walking. I did use Baidu map to walk to the hotel from Forbidden Palace and you will take short cuts which will end up at the back of Renaissance Hotel. Tips : mark the hotel in Baidu map so you can easily get the map working especially if cannot speak Chinese like me. On Dongsi West St there is National Art Museum and it is free. I did went there alone after checkout, there are 6 floors of exhibits there. Walk to Wangfujing shopping st would take you around 15 minutes. The famous Prime Hotel Beijing is like 5 minutes walk from the hotel. Not much to do at night as shops literally close early at around 8PM to 9PM except for McDonald’s which close at 11PM like 5 minutes walk from hotel. There is a mosque near hotel if you are Muslim like me but the mosque is a bit run down and closes its door and you need to ask the caretaker to open the door if you want to pray. Overall I’m satisfied with the hotel which I think is very basic and fits our budget. I wish there is a cupboard inside the room for us to hang out clothes and fridge. The toilet however is spacious and hot water can only be used for 20 minutes then we need to wait again for 30 minutes for it to replenish which is a problem if there are a lot of people to take shower at same time. Improvement for hotel : 1 Put small cupboard in room for guest to hang clothes. 2 Change the curtain as it is very old and looks like not wash for long time. 3 Better if room has small fridge for guest to store food. Getting there : Metro from took like 50 minutes with 3 changes in metro line. For me it is very easy, and cheap cost like 40RMB in Alipay. Overall the surrounding maybe take 2 days for you to be familiar with but I think it is good enough as there are McDonalds, Luckin coffee and also bakery near the hotel like 5 minutes walk. Small convenience store is there in the back alley but close like at 8PM. Reason I chose this hotel : 1 Your taxi can get there straight in front of hotel as it is not in Forbidden Palace area where some place taxi cannot get in and you need to carry your bag through busy street 2 Easy access as you walk 10 minutes from Dongsi Station Exit G/D to get to hotel 3 Near Dongsi mosque if you want to pray if you’re muslim 4 Very quiet area as a bit far from Forbidden Palace area or Wangfujing 5 Lots of shops to eat and cafe on Dongsi N st or Meishuguan E st near the Prime Beijing Hotel 6 A few halal muslim restaurant for you to eat if you are picky eater and not familiar with convenience store food 7 When go out of hotel turn left at end of the Dadoufu Ln there is small convenience you can buy food but close early around 8PM.

This hotel is absolutely fantastic. Everything from the cleanliness and inviting atmosphere to the cozy common areas and great coffee downstairs was spot on. It also includes a laundry room that you can use for free. Even in a shared room, the space felt private and comfortable. It's just a short walk from Ping'anli (Lined 4, 6 and 19) and Jishuitan (lines 2 and 19) subway stations making you really close to... well, pretty much everywhere. Additionally to that, i’d give it a 10-star rating just for the staff alone - they were incredibly patient and accommodating with all my special requests. I had a wonderful stay in here!

Really nice place with really friendly staff!! I even extended my stay there. The location is great, you have the bus and the underground closeby. You have a famous Lamaist pagoda next door and really cute street with cute cafés, restaurants that us really nice in the evening. The rooms are clean, with sockets right above your own bed and provide slippers for the shower. They provide ear plugs, toiletry items and a washing machine. There is a roof top and common areas to eat your delivery food (they have a system where you can order your food and deliver at the place). I really enjoyed my stay there!

hotel is near food centers, shopping centers, local market (behind hotel), near Beijing Metro. But there is no elevator, if you are strong enough to bring your 20s kilogram up to 5th floor, then this hotel is perfect (also no refrigerator).

Very close to the airport that is what we wanted. Hotel room is not very spacious but it feed our purpose. Hotel provide free transport to n fro airport.

Small budget hotel. Location is a walk from the nearest mrt (8min or so for brisk walking). Nothing much to see in the area. Need to travel out for all activities. But clean room generally. Hotel was doing renovations during my stay so it was a bit messy and noisy. Sound proofing isn't good. but no complain otherwise. Cute pets in the common area

Superb!!! Staff is very friendly, willing to offer help when needed ☺️ The stay is very comfort, offering free snacks and free access to drama. The bathtub also offers a soothing feeling during this early spring season where the temperature is still quite cool around 0-25°c. Another best thing is we can order food or stuff delivery till hotel. For a family trip, this location is quite ideal, easy access to a lot of tourism location include, the palace muzium, Tian Tan, Summer palace, Yuan Ming Yuan etc. Forgotten to snap the hotel photo, but overall I will recommend others to stay here due to its strategically location. Thank you for thanking care of me and my family during the stay ♥️

Great and affordable place. Everything was clean, bed was comfortable, room kept at a good temperature. Staff was friendly and allowed me to check in early. Underground station is a 10 minute walk, there are shops, 7-Eleven and restaurants nearby.

The hotel is located in the Huguosi business district, less than one kilometer from Peking University First Hospital. It is very close to Shichahai Drum Tower and takes a few bus stops to Xidan. The interior of the hotel is large in size and equipped with an elevator. It can be accessible from the door to the guest room. It is very easy to go up and down the stairs in a wheelchair. The room was clean and tidy, the windows were bright and clean, and the room service was in place.
